Like the novels, I really liked how the anime kept his loner and direct to the point personality, just like in the first few chapters. The "feminine" facial expressions were still intact to an extent, I wonder if it'll change slightly in the next episode where I'm sure he's be grown at that time.

I don't know if we can call a loner a guy who can't do anything without adding to his harem. I mean, it's one thing to seduce women by interacting with them in a game, especially one like SAO, but he got

Spoiler for novel, vol 3:

his cousin by, basically, being comatose for two years.

I know that, I'm just talking about what he was like in the beginning of the series. Just staying in tune with what the first episode portrayed him as in the novels.

He is also very good with words if you know what I mean.
He is also very a kind and sensitive person.

He's good with words? try blunt like a hammer.

He's also pass off as arrogant, but that's just him being recklessly confident to the level of irritating the other guy. Saying "I can do this no problem" without any worries, and completely excelling at practice.

People that knows him tends to 'get used' to the bs he keeps doing while strangers are completely baffled.

Note that he does knows his limit. So whenever he says he can do it, he REALLY can do it.

"Gossip then, that rare avatar that seems to be used for a long time in the previous account. As a reference, can you count up your previous account's play time for me?"
"What? My, my play time?"
I suddenly thought about it. The account before I converted, basically, the play time of the swordsman Kirito that went from SAO to ALO was at least around 2 years... in other words, seven hundred and 30 days multiplied by twenty-four hours.
"Uhh... ten thou ..."

He's a blatant Gary Stu pandering to the wish fulfillment crowd. Seriously, he reminds me of that one NCIS episode with the girl being a champion in every MMO ever (yes the author's grasp on the nature of MMO and a player's capability and limitation is that bad).
Needless to say, naming any of his LN 'feats' count as spoiling.
